This year is that year Sei goes Giga, lining up a consumer + institutional + gaming triple lane at the same time.

200k+ TPS target, sub-400ms finality, async execution, parallel block proposals, 5 gigagas throughput. That stack is built for:

– real orderbook perps
– high-frequency gaming logic
– onchain AI calls
– payment rails that don’t choke under load

If Giga lands anywhere close to spec in Q1, @SeiNetwork becomes the fastest serious EVM environment by a mile.

Historically, every major L1 infra upgrade gets a multi-month repricing window once the market believes it actually works.
→ Now layer Xiaomi on top of that.

Starting 2026, Sei wallets and discovery tooling get pre-installed on ~170M #Xiaomi phones sold annually outside China and the US.

Even a boring 2% activation rate turns into millions of new users without incentives or airdrop farming.

→ Another lane I think expands hard is gaming.

Gaming DAU on Sei already grew over 100% QoQ in 2025, with tens of millions of gaming transactions and multiple titles stress-testing the chain.

With Giga, that load ceiling gets pushed way higher, which is when fully onchain mechanics and faster feedback loops actually start to make sense.

If even one Sei game hits real mainstream traction, the user curve doesn’t move linearly anymore.

→ Institutional side is the part I think is underpriced in the current market cap.

BlackRock, Apollo, Hamilton Lane, Securitize already deployed RWAs on Sei because finality guarantees, predictable execution, and settlement actually fit institutional requirements.

As RWAs continue to scale, Sei is one of the few non-Ethereum chains structurally ready for that shift.

I’m building a heavy $SEI bag while it sits around $800M, because the market faded almost every big 2026 catalyst.
Anyway, the chart looks like bottom to me.

– lower highs are flattening
– lower lows are no longer expanding
– range is tightening

→ late-stage downtrend, seller exhaustion, tight range, strong historical support, and a lot of air above if momentum flips.

Mid-term trade looks good, since a break above 0.15 could move toward 0.3 pretty fast since that whole zone was lost quickly on the way down.

Long term, I wouldn’t be surprised to see a new ATH if these catalysts execute the way they’re lined up.
